Meet Lola's Boys

Andrew Kennedy...

Was born in Essex and at the age of ten was chosen to sing with 'The Southend Boy's Choir' at The Royal Festival Hall.

Unfortunately puberty took hold and several things dropped - including his vocal register - he did not sing again until he was cast as the lead in 'Joseph' at Basildon's Towngate Theatre.

An agent spotted him and agreed to sign him up - he appeared on the front cover of 'My Guy' and 'Oh Boy' magazines in the same year - a first for the teen-mag industry!

After passing his 'A' levels he decided that his gap year would be best spent concentrating on getting his 'foot in the door' of showbiz and acquiring an Equity card.

Andrew's first job was as a dresser to 'Burden and Moran', the ugly sisters in Eastbourne's production of Cinderella starring Letitia Dean. The 'sisters' were impressed and offered him a summer season at their theatre in Great Yarmouth only this time performing on stage.

After an exhausting tour of Europe in 'Jesus Christ Superstar', he spent a summer in Scotland's acclaimed 'Gaiety Whirl' starring alongside Johnny Beatty, The Alexander Brothers and working with Dougie Squires the award winning choreographer.

Andrew then went to sea - he joined the cast of 'The Song Of Norway' and cruised the Caribbean for 'RCCL'. When he next reached dry land it was to star in a number one nationwide tour of 'A Slice Of Saturday Night' playing the role of Rick, the seventeen year old virgin alongside Alvin Stardust. It was here he met his partner Paul who was playing the roguish lady-killer Gary. Paul introduced Andrew to his West End agents, C.A.M. who were more than delighted to represent the young actor and he was soon starring in 'Miss Saigon' at the 'Theatre Royal' on London's Drury Lane. A show he was to return to some years later to much acclaim.

The next big show to hit town was 'Grease'. It was to be the first time that the songs performed in the hit film were to be used onstage. After nine auditions for top Hollywood producer Robert Stigwood Andrew was given the role of 'Teen Angel' which he can be heard singing on the original London cast recording. He was also given the added task of understudying 'Neighbours' star Craig Machlachlan as Danny Zuko.

'The Rocky Horror Show' was Andrew's next West End credit. He played the role of 'Brad' the geek, alongside Robin Cousins, the former ice champion, and the irrepressable Nicholas Parsons. On one charity performance of the show a young Robbie Williams took to the stage to play the part of Rocky.

Andrew's other work includes 'Spend Spend Spend' at the highly-respected West Yorkshire Playhouse - a vivid musical re-creation of the life of pools winner Viv Nicholson which went on to garner an armful of Olivier Awards. Andrew was then honoured to be nominated for his own 'Olivier' for his performance as the villainous 'Rooster' in the London revival of 'Annie' at the 'Victoria Palace'. In this production his sister and partner in crime were played by both Lily Savage and Lesley Joseph, two performers with whom Andrew went on to form very special friendships. Together they rasied the roof with a show-stopping version of 'Easy Street' - which easily stole the show. 'Annie' also provided a chance to perform at 'The Royal Variety Performance' starring Barry Manilow and at the Royal Albert Hall with Elton John, Lily Savage and Julian Clary. He continued to work with Miss Savage for a number of years in Pantomime around the country in 'Snow White and The Seven Dwarves,' which due to it's enormous success, culminated in a final run in London's West End.

In 2002 Andrew took the lead part of 'Charlie' at the 'Shaftesbury Theatre' opposite Ruthie Henshall, the well known star of 'Chicago' in the world premiere of `Peggy Sue Got Married'. But they soon divorced and after numerous performances singing with the Birmingham Symphony Orchestra Andrew was cast as 'Trevor Graydon' in Thoroughly Modern Millie'. This provided another chance to work with close friend Lesley Joseph who took on the role of the evil Mrs Meers.

Andrew then went on to travel the world with the internationally acclaimed 'The Rat Pack - Live From Las Vegas' - as the chairman of the board - Mr Frank Sinatra.

Paul Davies...

Began his theatrical career in his own production of 'The King And I' in his family's small council house living room in London - he played both the King and 'I' to an audience of four - his mum, dad, nan, and sister, Tina. 'Dallas - The Stage Show' soon followed in which Paul played the whole cast - excelling as the drunken 'Sue-Ellen Ewing'.

After training for three years at the prestigious Mountview Theatre School in the capital Paul took his first lead role at Leicester Haymarket Theatre starring as 'Orin' in 'The Little Shop Of Horrors' - the production team wanted him to stay on and offered him a part in the very next show of the season "Seven Brides For Seven Brothers", Paul agreed as it was a chance to show of his dance skills to a new public.

Paul then joined Marti Caine and Derek Griffiths as the Prince in Snow White, his first pantomime at the Theatre Royal in Bath. This was immediately followed by a number one UK tour of the hit musical 'A Slice Of Saturday Night' with the irrepressable Alvin Stardust in which Paul took the lead role of Gary and garnered superb reviews in the national press. Bigger things beckoned and Paul was soon on the West End stage on Shaftesbury Avenue with 'Cheers' and 'Frasier' staring Bebe Neuwirth playing a psychotic south-american prison guard. The show written by kander and Ebb (Cabaret and Chicago) went on to win seven Tony awards on broadway. Paul then secured what in showbiz terms is known as a big break - he was offered the role of Claude in 'Hair', in the West-End revival of the sixties classic, a role he shared with the then unknown, John Barrowman. This fantastically happy production was at the famous Old Vic Theatre on the south bank.

Paul then went on to slip on his dancing shoes when Cameron Mackintosh cast him in the mysterious role of Munkestrap in his production of 'Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats.' Paul stayed with the show for nearly a year before deciding he'd had enough pussy and wanted to explore new ventures. Several experimental shows followed including a wonderful reworking of The Hunchback Of Notre Dame in which Paul was personally asked by Lionel Bart, of Oliver fame, to take the part of Phoebus - the golden-haired lover of Esmerelda.

Paul then took a break from theatre in order to broaden his perfomance skills and secured a place on the fiercely competitive London College Of Printing broadcasting course - this lead to appearances on Radio 4's 'A Night with . . .' and a BBC radio broadcast award.

He was then tempted back into professional theatre by being asked to join the celebrated 'Opera Della Luna' company in which he took the part of 'Nanki Poo' in "The Mikado' by Gilbert and Sullivan. Ironically this oriental role took Paul to the Orient and he visited Japan, China, Viet-Nam, Singapore and Thailand - he then took further operatic roles for the company, including 'Danilo' in Lehar's 'The Merry Widow', which took him all over South America, including 'Cape Horn' and a stint on the beautiful QE2.

Along with his West End Theatre and broadcasting credentials Paul is also a talented singer song writer, he has performed his own cabaret at The Grosvenor House Hotel on Park Lane and has appeared at various London venues performing his own work. He has also experienced life as a teacher, nude-model and of course, a waiter!
